In April I went to my annual homeschool mom’s retreat up in the mountains. It was beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed the cabin scenery,
The Hot Springs,
And the zip line!
Before I left, Liberty asked me what Mommy’s do at a retreat. THIS is what Mommy’s do at a retreat!
I taught a class at the retreat about how to read a classic. I prepped for a month, put all my visual aids and all my notes in a bag by the door and then drove all the way to Idaho City before I realized I’d left the bag by the door. Luckily another mom came up late and I was still able to teach the class I’d worked so hard to prepare for! Definitely among the ditzier things I’ve done.
Cade’s adventures last month included creating a Rube Goldberg machine for school and preparing for his spring piano recital. Both were awesome!
First, Rube Goldberg:
Now, the recital:
The video got cut off at the beginning, so you’ll have to imagine how it starts.
With two kids in sports this spring, practices and games makes every night an adventure.
Cade is doing baseball again.
And Levi is doing soccer.
And as a parting gift, the Pouting Pink Pig.
